Our need for the Sunnah is so great that without it our religion would be incomplete. Books such as the Bible and the Torah are so lacking in divine explanation that one can never understand (from them) how to worship Allāh properly.

Fitnah is of two types: the fitnah of ‘shubuhāt’ (doubts and misunderstandings), this one being the greater fitnah of the two, and the fitnah of ‘shahawāt’ (desires). It is quite possible that (these two fitan) can be present in the ʿabd (servant) at the same time, or one of them may be within him to the exclusion of the other.
